65 – Pushy or Supportive? Navigating the Fine Line When Offering to Help Others
from ADOPTION STRUGGLES AND SUPPORT | Adoption Trauma, Safety, Peace of Mind, Biblical Encouragement, Respite, Journaling · host Tim Maudlin - Adoptive Parent, The Persistent Encourager, Journaling Coach
Hi Neighbor, Have you ever had a friend going through difficult times? We all have. Maybe they have health issues. Maybe there has been a death in the family. Maybe they are struggling with their adopted child. Whatever it is, you want to help them. When you do reach out, the conversation usually goes something like this. “Let me know what I can do.” I’ve said that before and I’ve had it said to me. And more times than not, that’s where it ends. Nothing happens. In this episode of Anchors of Encouragement, we’re going to consider a topic that has really frustrated me in the past. But when you consider it through the anchor of a kind gesture, that frustration goes away. Hope and Healing are on the way. Your Neighbor, Tim P.S. If this podcast has given you the courage and confidence to face storms in your life, the number one way you can thank me is to leave a written review on Apple Podcasts. Thanks Neighbor!
